Human-AI collaboration verifies complex math problems to ten decimal places

Researchers have detailed a human-AI collaboration to verify complex eigenvalue problems, achieving ten-decimal place accuracy for both a singular self-adjoint Schrödinger operator and a non-normal atom-molecule benchmark. The AI provided candidate solutions and proof strategies, but human mathematical judgment was crucial for validating the results and identifying flaws in AI-generated arguments. This collaboration highlights the potential and limitations of AI in rigorous mathematical verification, suggesting a need for updated standards in peer review and training as AI-generated proofs become more common.

    Ten Digits on a Train: AI-Assisted Verification of Two Eigenvalue Problems

    arXiv:2606.23821v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Accurate numerical eigenvalues are often difficult to certify, especially in singular or non-normal settings. This article reports a human--AI collaboration on two such computations. For a singular self-adjoint Schr\"odinger opera…
